Hi Patrick,
I must be mis-understanding you on the Flusser rule, I am 185cm tall, if I read you correctly, the button point on my jackets should be at 92.5cm from the floor.
On checking I find that almost all my jackets button at 110 cm to 112 cm from the floor. My trousers reach to about 105cm from the floor. Is there an error here???
Am I that badly shaped? (probably)

I don't think it is a hard rule. If the jacket looks good than that is all that matters.

There was a time when people asked about Vox's [Bill's (F. Corb's)] dimples.
The answer to both questions? Just wait for the man crush to wear itself out.
Skinny sleeves don't drape nicely. As in the picture I was commenting on, they tend to bunch up. Fuller sleeves that are shaped and fitted well tend to fall back into place and don't get stuck on your arms.

When you're thin the opposite can be a problem too. If the sleeves are too full they might look ok in a robo-pose but once in motion they wrinkle in odd ways. I think the selection of fabric can make a big difference though.

I've never experienced this and can't fathom why it would be the case. Sure, cloth makes a difference. However, all else being equal, a fuller sleeve shouldn't wrinkle more than a skinner one. Why would it?

I don't think a fuller sleeve necessarily wrinkles more than a narrower one just that they can wrinkle in an unflattering way. I did a quick look around to see if I could find pictures that show what I'm talking about. I couldn't really find any that show the problem on a particularly slim guy but here are a couple of examples where I think a narrower sleeve would look better:

But you guys are much more versed in these matters than I and I realize that I may be misunderstanding the problem I see in the photos.

^^^ Those are both bad examples because they are both generally poor-fitting. You need to look at something tailored well to understand. It is not a coincidence that good bespoke tailors tend to cut fuller sleeves than most RTW-oriented wearers are used to.

How is the next Tweed in the City article coming along? RJ, whnay., and Nicholas Storey are all available for suitable ghostwriting...perhaps you can convince the three to band together on a new TitC article?

I think that you need to grab them ASAP before they join the StyleForum Editorial Team..

I don't think that this has happened yet, but I could be wrong.

It saddens me that you were not invited to contribute. It angers me that I was not.
